"Flower DIY"

It makes my heart so happy that Spring is finally starting to make an appearance. After a brutal winter, we are ready to throw open the windows and fill our homes with flowers, flowers, flowers. And with the help of Veronica of Anthology Co. and Carolina Guzik Photography, that perfect DIY floral arrangement is at our...

When it comes to party ideas, we've got those covered and florals are certainly a part of that mix but ask me how to craft the perfect centerpiece, one that's unstuffy yet insanely gorgeous and you'll probably get a big, blank stare. My go-to is a vase filled with one type of flower but there's a whole world of possibilities and Primary Petals and...

Flowers and Valentine's Day just seem to go hand in hand, but the blooms below will surely get you a gold star from your loved one. They say good things come in small packages, and these itty bitty bouquets snapped up by Ruth Eileen prove that point in the prettiest of ways. Oh, and you can whip these up in no time. Promise.

Combining the uber stylish talents of The Shift Creative with the prettiest blooms by Lavenders Flowers, the idea for a fresh floral mandala backdrop was born. It's simple, seriously beautiful and all it takes are fresh blooms, a bare wall and a little time. It's taking the Valentine's party (or any event really) to a...

If you’re anything like me, you may have a billion more gifts to find before the big holiday. Normally, I’m so on top of these things but between writing my new cookbook and sending thousands of food gifts so far this season (through Eat Boutique), well, I’m just a wee bit behind.
This weekend, I’m mixing up one of my easiest food gifts that delight the ladies, brides, mixologists and bakers in my life. This rose sugar is effortless; it’s so easy, it’s almost a non-recipe. I...

We are always on the hunt for something new to paint gold. Tah Dah... DIY bud vases are just the thing to add a bit of sparkle and fun into your centerpieces, especially with gorgeous Fall florals. Or maybe a few peonies. We love a good gold and peony moment. Check out these pipes turned vases, by Alexis from ...

I love using fresh greenery on the front door, or even the mantle during the holiday season. A simple re-usable grapevine wreath plus some favorite seasonal flowers and you have yourself a wreath the neighbors will envy. Hoot and Holler is showing us how to create an organic holiday wreath that is modern and custom all rolled into one. Make sure you check out the whole...

We’re strong believers that fresh flowers are a must have around your home. One of our favorite flowers to have around the house is hydrangeas. You can find them anywhere, and they are super easy to arrange. Unfortunately, hydrangeas are a...

A floral arrangement can completely transform a holiday table. No question. But that doesn't necessarily mean forking over beaucoup bucks.

Winter is quickly approaching but the upside is holidays spent round the fire are too and what better way to bring the outdoors in then with foraged evergreen decor to spruce things up? This month we're bringing you a rustic fireplace mantle display that is super easy to construct, requires minimal supplies, and can be done with just about any thing you can find in your backyard.
Evergreens are an easy-to-find and hardy option for indoor floral arrangements and can last quite a while...

Seeing that crafting sugar flowers takes time and patience (read: which I don't have) - I am always one to place a few real flowers atop a cake. I usually just insert the stem into the cake but today Caprice Decor & Design is sharing the legit way to affix pretty flowers atop pretty cakes. With cakes by The Cocoa Cakery, planning by...

There's evidence out there that states waking up next to fresh flowers on your bedside table is a way to improve your energy throughout an entire day. When I saw that, I knew we had to save September's foraged arrangement for my bedside table. September's flower harvest is by farm my favorite! It's full of all sorts of goodies (and we're breaking them down below!) XO The girls at...

I can't think of a better way to soak in the summer than a long walk in the fresh air, gathering all the blooms you can hold! For those of you stuck in the city, we've got Avenue Lifestyle's pretty wildflower walk in the Netherlands to tide you over. The gallery of Anouschka Rokebrand's images is so dreamy, you'll feel like you're walking onto the set of a Jane Austen film. Bonus: all the steps to making...

For this arrangement I wanted to use colors that reminded me of August evenings, right before the sun fades behind the horizon: golds, deep shades of pink, raspberry, and burgundy. The goal here is to soak in the last little bits of summer for as long as we possibly can! And what better way to do so than with an arrangement of seasonal flowers.

If you can't beat the July heat, why not enjoy the best parts of it? That's just what we did this month on our mini-getaway to the Lake in Maine. We set out for an afternoon of foraging, lake-side picnic-ing and swimming. This month we found favorites like maine lupine, foxglove, blueberries, hellebore, fever few, scabiosa and grasses. It resulted in a wonderful, wildly romantic bouquet and we highly recommend you do the same!

Happy June! One of the most satisfying things about this monthly foraging project is showing that you, our audience can find beauty from the outdoors to decorate your home or office all year long.
